Kim Neal Wasserburger

The top workshop for me was Dream-Imagine-Dance, offered by Kim Wasserburger from Lakeland High School in Wisconsin, inviting everyone to the same activities they do with incarcerated youth and regular high school students, providing a chance to freely express yourself and experience real freedom.

LUHS's Kim Neal Wasserburger taught this activity to us. He has done wonderful things with and for students here at Lakeland Union High School.

LUHS social worker and Journey leader Kim Wasserburger said that climbing is much more than just an adventure.

"If you don't take time to stop and reflect and put it in the center of your heart, it's just another thing to get used to," Wasserburger said.

Wasserburger used the example of two students, one who was in the process of "coming down the mountain" and one still climbing it.He said they easily could have passed each other, but instead worked together to help each other on their journey.

Kim Wasserburger, a social worker at Lakeland Union High School, and the teacher of the class says, "They have to learn to work together.The climber trust situation is something researchers show is very beneficial."

Wasserburger says the class is a pro-active effort that emphasises open relationships.

He goes on to say, "Students who normally wouldn't talk with eachother are in a situation where they interact in a positive way and get to know and work with eachother."

Wasserburger says students can express themselves in any form they want when they come to this class and he'll talk with them about anything.

He says, "Listen to kids.
